-Xmx sets max Java heap size where as -Xms set min Java heap size. Java threads take both Java heap and native stack space. Fiddling with these values is unlikely to have any effect on the number of threads being started. 10 threads should start without issue unless someone is consuming a ton of memory or the default JMeter memory settings have been fiddled with (like stack size).
